Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC- FutureA
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cardinals: B.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named quarterback, a need the Cardinals walked right past.

That is an edge rusher worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in Round 1, Pick 27 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick35 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Graham Barton at pick No. 35 is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick66 Rnd3 Kris Jenkins
A quiet steal in No. 66: Kris Jenkins for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick71 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. in slot 71 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
They read the board right and Kamren Kinchens was the payoff at the 75th pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick90 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson at the 90th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick104 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
No drama and no debate, Zak Zinter went about where he belonged in pick 104. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
